Benefits of technology

[0016]In the first and second liquid crystal display devices and the liquid crystal display of an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid crystal layer includes a molecule providing the tilt to a liquid crystal molecule, and a bent-shaped molecule indicated in Chemical Formula 1 which has a dipole moment so that the tilt is provided to the liquid crystal molecule without degradation of transmissivity and voltage retention of the liquid crystal molecule.
[0017]According to the first and second liquid crystal display devices and the liquid crystal display of an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid crystal layer includes a molecule providing the tilt to a liquid crystal molecule, and a bent-shaped molecule indicated in Chemical Formula 1 which has a dipole moment so that the tilt is provided to the liquid crystal molecule and response characteristics are improved while maintaining good display characteristics.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the configuration of the liquid crystal display device of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-357830, complete polymerization of a monomer is not easy.
Even if a small amount of unreacted monomers is present, voltage retention of the liquid crystal material is deteriorated, and this likely causes degradation of the display characteristics.

first embodiment

[0025]FIGS. 1A and 1B are schematic cross sectional views of a liquid crystal display device equipped on a liquid crystal display according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1A showing a state with no drive voltage applied and FIG. 1B showing the state with the drive voltage applied. A display mode of this liquid crystal display device is a so-called vertical alignment (VA) mode.

[0026]As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the liquid crystal display device includes, for example, a pixel electrode substrate 20 and a transparent electrode substrate 30 facing each other and disposed between a pair of polarizers 10 facing each other, alignment films 40 disposed so as to cover respective facing surfaces of the pixel electrode substrate 20 and the transparent electrode substrate 30, and a liquid crystal layer 50 sealed between the pixel electrode substrate 20 and the transparent electrode substrate 30 with the alignment films 40 in between. In other words, the liquid crystal disp...

second embodiment

[0070]FIGS. 3A and 3B are schematic cross sectional views of a liquid crystal display device equipped on a liquid crystal display as in the second embodiment. FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic plan views of FIGS. 3A and 3B. FIGS. 3A and 4A show a state with no drive voltage applied, and FIGS. 3B and 4B show the state with the drive voltage applied. A display mode of the liquid crystal display device illustrated in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B is a so-called IPS mode. As illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the liquid crystal display device has a configuration so as to include an electrode substrate 80 and a transparent substrate 90 facing each other and disposed between a pair of polarizers 10 facing each other, and a pixel electrode 82 and a transparent electrode 83 provided in the electrode substrate 80. For sake of simplicity, specific configurations of each of the substrates illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B are omitted in FIGS. 4A and 4B.

example 1

[0082]A liquid crystal display device (VA mode) according to the first embodiment as illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B was fabricated by the following steps. That is, a pixel electrode substrate 20 provided with a pixel electrode 22 of ITO which was located over a glass transparent substrate 21, and a transparent substrate 30 provided with a transparent electrode 32 of ITO which was located over a glass transparent substrate 31 were prepared. Next, alignment films 40 were formed respectively over the pixel electrode substrate 20 and the transparent electrode substrate 30. Next, the pixel electrode substrate 20 and the transparent electrode substrate 30 faced each other so that the respective alignment films 40 faced each other, and then a seal material was sealed with plastic beads in between so as to set a cell gap between these substrates 4 μm. Next, the liquid crystal material including MLC-7026 (by Merck Ltd., Japan) as the liquid crystal molecule 50A showing a negative dielectric ...
